The Ludhiana Finance and Contracts Committee will have its last meeting of the year on Friday and around 200 resolutions will be taken up for discussion and approval. The committee members will decide whether to give work order for dismantling of a 100-year-old bridge near Chand Cinema at enhanced rates or not. If the officials have not finalized a contactor after floating tenders on several occasions, the contractor has demanded an increase in the fixed rates which will cost the MC Rs 113 crore to dismantle the bridge. The local bodies department did not take this decision at its level rather asked the committee members to take a call if the FCC does not allow the enhanced rates then the civic officials will have to start the process again. The FCC members are also likely to give nod to utilize treated sewer water for irrigation purposes in leisure valley Sarabha Nagar.
